If you don't know how to propagate Chinese roses through cuttings, this 3-minute tutorial will teach you how to achieve rooting in 7 days with a high survival rate!
Chinese roses come in a very wide variety, and many gardening enthusiasts like to plant one in their balconies or gardens. When well-cared for, they can grow and bloom normally all year round as long as the temperature is not too low. Chinese roses mainly rely on cutting propagation, and it's quite simple to propagate them yourself. Just remember to plant cuttings during the normal growing season, and they can quickly grow roots. If the temperature is too low, they will enter a non-growth phase, making the cutting time longer. While they may still survive, there's a higher chance of failure, such as blackening of the stem, rotting, or not forming roots.
When propagating Chinese roses, it's important to choose the right branches, preferably the ones that are harder and have just finished flowering. Cut the branches below the flower and use them for propagation. The branches that have finished flowering are harder and have plump buds between the leaves and the stem. We only need to keep 1 to 2 pairs of leaves on the branch, make a diagonal cut at the bottom, and remove the bottom leaves, leaving only the top two.
Then, prepare a well-ventilated soil. I usually use nutrient-rich soil for propagation, but you can also use this type of soil or even river sand. After planting, water thoroughly, adding a few drops of root stimulant and some mycostatic to the water to prevent blackening and rotting, promoting rapid root growth. After planting, place it in a well-ventilated area with a little scattered light. Water it once a day with a fine mist from a spray bottle to ensure the leaves absorb moisture and the branches don't wilt.
If the temperature is high, the roots will grow within about a week, and within two weeks, the plant will start sprouting buds. Once it grows quickly, you can supplement with some fertilizer or place it in a sunny spot and transplant it into new potting soil for normal care.
This is the method for propagating Chinese roses. Once you've learned it, you can cut a branch from someone else's plant and it will survive after planting.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to the cutting propagation method of Chinese roses and how to learn it in 3 minutes, hoping to provide green plant enthusiasts with some relevant knowledge.
